BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to an optical system, and more particularly to a compact optical image capturing system for an electronic device.

2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, there is an increasing demand for an optical image capturing system. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high imaging quality is rapidly rising.

The conventional optical system of the portable electronic device usually has a two-piece lens. However, to take pictures in a dark environment, the optical system needs a large aperture. An optical system with large aperture typically has several problems, such as, large aberration, poor image quality at periphery of the image, and is burdensome to manufacture. In addition, an wide-angle optical system usually has large distortion. Therefore, conventional optical system do not provide high optical performance in these environments.

There is a need to increase the quantity of light entering the lens and the angle of field of the lens. In addition, the modern lens also needs improved properties, including high pixels, high image quality, a small size, and high optical performance.

In addition, the opposite surfaces (object-side surface and image-side surface) of the first to the fourth lenses could be aspheric that can obtain more control parameters to reduce aberration. The number of aspheric glass lenses could be less than the conventional spherical glass lenses that is helpful to reduction of the height of the system.

When the lens has a convex surface, which means that the surface is convex around a position, through which the optical axis passes, and when the lens has a concave surface, which means that the surface is concave around a position, through which the optical axis passes.

Fifth Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, an optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention includes, along an optical axis from an object side to an image side, an aperture 500, a first lens 510, a second lens 520, a third lens 530, an infrared rays filter 570, an image plane 580, and an image sensor 590.

The first lens 510 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 512, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 514, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 512 and the image-side surface 514 each has an inflection point.

The second lens 520 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 522 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 524 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface.

The third lens 530 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 532, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 534, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The image-side surface 534 has an inflection point.

The fourth lens 540 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 542, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 544, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 542 has two inflection points, and the image-side surface 544 has an inflection point.

The infrared rays filter 570 is made of glass, and between the fourth lens 540 and the image plane 580. The infrared rays filter 570 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.

The parameters of the lenses of the fifth preferred embodiment are |f2|+|f3|=7.6703 mm; |f1|+|f4|=7.7843 mm; and |f2|+|f3|<|f1|+|f4|, where f1-f4 are focal lengths of the first lens 510 to the fourth lens 540.

The optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment further satisfies TP3=0.3996 mm and TP4=0.9713 mm, where TP3 is a thickness of the third lens 530 on the optical axis and TP4 is a thickness of the fourth lens 540 on the optical axis.

The optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣPP=f1+f2+f4=13.1419 mm and f1/(f1+f2+f4)=0.2525, where ΣPP is a sum of the focal lengths of each positive lens. It is helpful to share the positive refractive power of the first lens 510 to the other positive lenses to avoid the significant aberration caused by the incident rays.

The optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣNP=f3=−2.3127 mm and f3/(f3)=1, where ΣNP is a sum of the focal lengths of each negative lens.

The parameters of the lenses of the fifth embodiment are listed in Table 9 and Table 10.

Seventh Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, an optical image capturing system of the seventh preferred embodiment of the present invention includes, along an optical axis from an object side to an image side, an aperture 700, a first lens 710, a second lens 720, a third lens 730, an infrared rays filter 770, an image plane 780, and an image sensor 790.

The first lens 710 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. Both an object-side surface 712, which faces the object side, and an image-side surface 714, which faces the image side, are convex aspheric surfaces. The object-side surface 712 has an inflection point.

The second lens 720 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 722 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 724 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface.

The third lens 730 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 732, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 734, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The object-side surface 732 has two inflection points, and the image-side surface 734 has an inflection point.

The fourth lens 740 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 742, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 744, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 742 and the image-side surface 744 each has an inflection point.

The infrared rays filter 770 is made of glass, and between the fourth lens 740 and the image plane 780. The infrared rays filter 770 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.

The parameters of the lenses of the seventh preferred embodiment are |f2|+|f3|=6.3879 mm; |f1|+|f4|=7.3017 mm; and |f2|+|f3|<|f1|+|f4|, where f1-f4 are focal lengths of the first lens 710 to the fourth lens 740.

The optical image capturing system of the seventh preferred embodiment further satisfies TP3=0.342 mm and TP4=0.876 mm, where TP3 is a thickness of the third lens 730 on the optical axis and TP4 is a thickness of the fourth lens 740 on the optical axis.

The optical image capturing system of the seventh preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣPP=f1+f2+f4=10.9940 mm and f1/(f1+f2+f4)=0.2801, where ΣPP is a sum of the focal lengths of each positive lens. It is helpful to share the positive refractive power of the first lens 710 to the other positive lenses to avoid the significant aberration caused by the incident rays.

The optical image capturing system of the seventh preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣNP=f3=−2.6956 mm and f3/(f3)=1, where ΣNP is a sum of the focal lengths of each negative lens.

The parameters of the lenses of the seventh embodiment are listed in Table 13 and Table 14.
